Walking track

This coastal multi-use walking and mountain biking track takes you through to the northern end of the park. Along the way you can walk through several areas of coastal bush and access both Granny’s and Pohutukawa Bays. There are several high points along the track which provide some stunning panoramic views of the Hauraki Gulf. Dog walking is permitted on this track as long as they are kept on a leash (only accessible via the beach and crossing the Vaughan Stream mouth). Please be wary of other walkers, runners and mountain bikers making use of this track and that you may encounter nude bathers at Pohutukawa Bay. Follow the red markers
